blizzard beach i'd definitely go by car. if you don't get there pretty much at opening time you won't get a sunlounger, and may not even get in if the park fills quickly. some friends of mine went on the bus, and by the time they got there the park was full. and disney are strict with maximum occupancy at water parks. also, since you're goin in june i'd be getting to the parks for opening every day anyway. the parks will be busy, fastpasses will run out, and queues will become huge faster than you may think!

Great plan. Have you considered doing Busch Gardens on the way back from Clearwater?

[loates123]

thanks for advise so far

how important is it to get to parks early?


busch garden would rather not do on a saturday but will be staying in clearwater till afternoon time what time does the park close , our busy will it be.
keep the tips coming

[MrB]

If you dont get to the parks early you will face long queues and also long waits for fastpasses - for the popular rides they get used up quickly.

Have you checked for when EMH is for a park? There are some who say that that will be the busiest park as on-site Disney guests arrive early.

Also I see that you are doing quite long days - is that the reason for not leaving earlier and driving yourself?

[thinktink]

in my experience it is vital to get to the parks early. there is so much to do in each one that you really need at least one full day at each. plus, as ive already mentioned, the queues will be longer later on, and the fastpasses may all have been taken. my advice is to get there for 9am, and head straight for whatever you think is likely to get busy later on, eg splash mountain at mk, tower of terror at mgm, soarin at epcot and everest or kilimanjaro at ak. we always pick up a fastpass on the way, too. working out the fastpasses can really make or break your day. good luck, and feel free to ask more questions!

what is EMH is for a park


also how far is b beach from comfort inn.

reason we are doing long days at parks is to see the evening shows plus we can drink too

how quick do fass passes go?

Hi. EMH is the extra magic hours when Disney hotel people get to go into a particular park an hour early. As a lot of the US visitors don't have the park hopper option, this park tends to be busier than average on these days, as people pile in an hour early and stay, plus then you get all the people that were going to be visiting that park anyway. So if you are not a Disney resident, it may be to your advantage to avoid parks that have had an EMH morning.

Speed of Fast passes running out varies greatly. We got to MK one evening at about 7pm and got FPs for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for 8.15-9.15pm. But we were at Epcot one EMH morning (normal opening was 9am, so 8am for Disney people) and ALL the FPs for Soarin for the day had gone by 9am and FPs for one other big ride there (forget which, sorry) were at 7.30-8.30pm by that time too.

Great itinerary but one thing i would think about is the PO and then Seaworld and doing this by bus. This will be ok if you don't buy anything but if you do you will have to take it to Seaworld with you. Perhaps you could do seaworld first and then shop.

When do you go?

[loates123]

june anyone know opening hours of prem outlets and when it is less busy there?

[mallaeus]

how can you go that far and leave out thhe two best parks?

Looks good to me! You're overlapping with us :)

We've stayed at the Comfort Inn LBV twice and really like it there, it's very convenient and had all we wanted.

The Walmart we used was the big one on the 192 but there's been a newer one built since we visited at on Vineland Road. If you turn left out of the Comfort Inn, then left again at the traffic lights, carry straight on under the I4 and you'll eventually see Walmart on your right, probably about 10/15 minutes from the hotel.

Have a lovely time.
